With Fran Alison's work she finds materials whether it being toys, bottle caps or anything she finds on the street, she can somehow always make it into a beautiful piece of jewellery, see in the 3rd brooch, she uses a ordinary playing card which has what seems to be black card that is stuck behind the card,then using a old piece of jewellery she stuck it right on top of the diamond of the playing card.

Because of this design of her brooch, it has given me an idea to create jewellery out of playing cards, but I would like to make them a bit more crazier by ripping them and mismatching them together, but i might even copy the idea of adding jewellery to cards to make them stand out a bit.
